Quick Facts Yugoslavia ...

Yugoslavia recognized the independence of the Kingdom of Burundi in 1962.[1] Yugoslavia was one of the first countries in the world to recognize the independence of Burundi.[2] Formal diplomatic relations between the two countries were established already in 1962.[3] Two countries signed the Agreement on Technical Cooperation on 21 January 1971 which enabled an exchange of experts and scientists between Yugoslavia and Burundi and enabled trade in convertible currencies.[4] Yugoslavia maintained an embassy in Bujumbura.[5][6]

In the last decade of the 20th-century, both countries experienced ethnic violence which escalated in Burundian Civil War and Yugoslav Wars.[7] Ethnic violence and war in Yugoslavia, combined with the collapse of the central federal institutions led to the breakup of the country.
